Increase traffic to your website using web 2.0 - Part 1

So you want to get some more hits on your website, but you don't want to pay for it? You can do this with the new emerging Web 2.0 websites that are popping up like wild flowers.

What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is not a brand new internet that you've never heard of, it's the same internet only better and more sociable. That's the key word with this thing, "social". People are getting together on the web, I don't just mean in the dating sense. They are interacting and sharing experiences, photos, comments, reviews, bookmarks etc. Pretty much anything you can share is being shared on the web today.

Facebook is allowing people from all over the world to keep in touch and keep tabs on what everyone is up to. Twitter allows connected users to quickly "tweet" what they are doing to other twitters. You Tube is revolutionizing the way we watch video, people from all walks of life are uploading home videos and quickly becoming the next generation of producers and directors.

So how can Web 2.0 help me get more traffic, for free?

The magic word is "backlinks". You sign up as a user at one of the web 2.0 sites and begin to contribute information. Many of these sites will have a bio section where you can include a link to your website (backlink). There are many places like blogger, squidoo, hubpages, wordpress and many other blog sites where you can write about your business and industry, and place a backlink to your website. These sites are viewed by millions of people daily and make it a pretty sure bet that someone will click on your link to visit your site for more information.

Hey, you can even use article sites, just like ezine articles to publish your content, and yes, of course, include your link.
